We are delighted to host most of our attendees in person at TU Dublin with almost 600 delegates registered. Due to the numbers attending and an increase globally in positive COVID cases, we would like to mitigate the spread of COVID as much as possible.  Please read the following information before attending in person.

If you have any symptoms of COVID, we ask please do not attend the conference. At this point, we can transfer your attendance to online participation.
